A quick warning.

Monolaurin requires titration to prevent a Herxheimer Reaction:

Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction.

Generally begin with 1000mg a day for 5 days. Add another 1000mg for 5 days and then 1000mg more for a total of 3000mg/day. If there is a reaction suspend taking it for 1 to 2 days and begin over again at a lower dose and work your way back to the maximum.

The Herxheimer reaction is most unpleasant. I had a horrible case of bacterial pneumonia in January 1977. My doctor prescribed Erythromycin 325 mg, 3x daily. I put the first one down and my eyes were swollen shut for hours. Lot of uncomfortable itching. Subsequent doses were fine. The infection was fully knocked down by the end of the week. The 103.5 fever too. It was weeks before I cleared all the garbage from my lungs.
